“…Waste management has become a big concern in China, as careless disposal of hazardous materials poses serious damage to the environment. The term "sustainable development" has gotten much interest in many areas, including scientific debates, daily life activities, foreign relations, local and national policies, and commercial [90]. The historic sustainable development summit in 2015 approved the 2030 Agenda, which included 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) that would guide countries' efforts to build a sustainable world by 2030, and Goal 6 aims to guarantee that everyone has access to clean water and sanitation [91].…”

Heavy metal contamination, waste, and COVID-19 are hazardous to all living things in the environment. This review examined the effects of heavy metals, waste, and COVID-19 on the ecosystem. Scientists and researchers are currently working on ways to extract valuable metals from waste and wastewater. We prefer Tessier sequential extraction for future use for heavy metal pollution in soil. Results indicated that population growth is another source of pollution in the environment. Heavy metal pollution wreaks havoc on soil and groundwater, especially in China. COVID-19 has pros and cons. The COVID-19 epidemic has reduced air pollution in China and caused a significant reduction in CO2 releases globally due to the lockdown but has a harmful effect on human health and the economy. Moreover, COVID-19 brings a huge amount of biomedical waste. COVID-19’s biomedical waste appears to be causing different health issues. On the other hand, it was discovered that recycling has become a new source of pollution in south China. Furthermore, heavy metal contamination is the most severe ecological effect. Likewise, every problem has a remedy to create new waste management and pollution monitoring policy. The construction of a modern recycling refinery is an important aspect of national waste disposal.
